HardBricked Moto G7 - Moto G7 Questions & Answers

Hey guys,
I was trying to install HavocOS on my moto g7(River) and while wiping cache and internal storage through TWRP I accidentally also wiped the System as well, now the phone boots up into fastboot mode with the oem status shows up as Locked. I tried flashing stock Rom using fastboot ( as the phone still enters fastboot mode) it returns a error saying
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Trying to enter recovers give the following error
Startup failed:
No bootable A/B slot
failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot
Boot up failed
And trying to flash TWRP gives the same error
C:\platform-tools>fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_10-0-river.img
Sending 'boot.img' (32754 KB) OKAY [ 0.710s]
Booting (bootloader) permission denied!
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
any help would be appreciated.

Try the following...
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
If it fails to erase userdata, then use fastboot -w. Erase what you can regardless, and reboot directly to the bootloader. Then try flashing vbmeta first. If that doesn't work. Make sure you have the correct firmware and make sure it's the same or a newer version than what you were on. If all else fails, you need to trigger EDL somehow and blank flash.

Where do I find vbmeta ? The stock firmware image I have does not have vbmeta
this is where I am downloading the stock firmware from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/

I didn't expect that. Start with gpt and the bootloader. See if it works.

When in bootloader/fastboot, check what the output of "fastboot getvar all" and it should show build fingerprint in some of the output. Are you flashing same firmware as shown in the output? I'd assume same or newer should work . But otherwise may need to trigger EDL to blank flash as already mentioned

Try running "fastboot oem blankflash" and see if it reboots into EDL mode. If so you'll just need a blank flash file and that should fix you up.

Oh yeah! There's a bunch of them. What's your model number and device code name? I'll help you find it, and I know where the tools are to run it.
Edit: I found it! River - there are 3 here. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/blankflash/
If those don't work, I know there's more in the threads here. We just gotta find the right one. And here's the tools you'll need. Runs on windows 7/8/10. If you use Linux then I think we'll need to find RSD lite.

Thank you for you help again man I am able to boot into my phone now . Will make a guide on all this so if someone has the same issue they can fix it.

I have a similar problem with a hard bricked Moto G7. I successfully installed Lineage 18, but was getting error / nag messages at startup. A Motorola pop-up saying the device was unsafe. After about 10 seconds it would then boot into Lineage successfully.
I then rooted the device in an attempt to stop the nag messages, and now it won’t boot up into the OS. It will boot into fastboot / boot loader. But if you try to boot the OS it just goes to a black screen and the OS never starts.
I can’t get it to flash for TWRP. If I type “fastboot devices” the phone will show up in the list. But if I try to flash TWRP.img it says that no devices are present.
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you!

Help, my Moto X Style XT1752 Brick :(

Hello people, I come with a Moto X XT1572 brickeado, out of nowhere is stuck in the Motorola logo and it does not pass from there, restarting over and over again.
I tried several methods to try to install a stock Firm, 6.0 or 6.1, but without success.
Because I can only connect it in fastboot mode and RSD Lite does not recognize it, I followed the tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njXQYn53SPc
Whatever Firm it is, I throw the following error:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Bootloader) has-slot: boot: not found
Target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
Sending 'boot' (40960 KB) ...
OKAY
Writing 'boot' ...
(Bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
Finished. Total time: 2
I understand and I have read, the problem is initially in the boot, I have tried flashing only the boot, but it does not respond, throwing the same error.
It is worth clarifying that the bootloader is blocked, and if I try to unlock it it throws me:
(Bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Finished. Total time: 0.00s
I can not check that option, since it does not fix je.
Also it is worth clarifying that it does not allow me to enter the recovery, when it enters that option it is automatically restarted returning to the motorola logo again and again.
Do you have any idea what else to try? Thank you in advance.

Have you tried a factory reset in the stock recovery? From the bootloader select Recovery and let it start, when you get "Dead Andy" with an exclamation mark after the timeout, hold power and tap Vol Up and release both keys. Select Factory reset/Wipe data and let finish and then reboot... First boot can take 20 minutes plus after a reset.

Stock firmware images are digitally signed, so yes, you can flash them with a locked bootloader., but downgrading is tricky even with an unlocked bootloader. The key here us to just get it bootable.

Hello, finally I take the equipment to an official technical service of Motorola, where they told me that they could not repair it since the cell phone did not take Software. Is this possible or would it be that the technical service did not have the necessary software version?

Good afternoon, I return the subject after a long time since yesterday I thought to try again, and I found that the cell now turns on, but when trying to complete the initial configuration, after choosing the language gives me to select the wifi networks, where it does not detect any, and I do not enable the jump or forward button, and I'm stuck there again, it's very strange, as soon as I enter that screen, it gives me the option to add a new network, and I can see that says Mac Address with pure zeros, as if it did not have MAC.
If I try to enter the recovery, now I see "No Command" (previously not directly entered), and there is no way to skip this "No Command", I have tried all the methods that appear online.
EDIT: I was able to get into recovery, but I do not know if it can help me now.
Any ideas? he seems to be brigado, but not as much as before
Flash the right modem for your region in fastboot. You should repeat the fastboot command "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" at least two times because the first time it won't "stick". After you'll have to execute "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" commands and your wi-fi and data signal should return.

I still have a problem, when the device is turned on, it always turns on Bootloader mode, and I have to select "Start" to turn it on. This is why when you want to upgrade to Android 7 via OTA, when the device is restarted during installation, it enters Bootloader mode, select "Start", restarts the update, restarts in Bootloader, and remains in an infinite cycle.
Is there a solution to this? I have already activated USB debugging in order to unlock the Bootloader.
Thank you!!

Did you run all stock steps in order? In particular this one first:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
That will restore your partition table which seems to be messed up. Make sure you try to restore firmware version that was last working for you.
If your phone is completely wiped and you have no backups of ALL of the partitions, I doubt you can recover as some of the partitions have phone specific data for IMEIs and such.

I too have this question bro .... Plus help me if you find a solution ... I m a newbie... Nd face the same problem as yours
Sounds like fastboot expects a working partition table to start with then.
I would boot into twrp from fastboot (from an image on your PC) and use adb shell to take a look at what the flash looks like (fdisk -l command). You may have to restore the partition table first via sgdisk or dd. I've never done it and I'm no expert on this stuff but Google is your friend. General linux forums are just as helpful as android specific forums as at this level, we aren't even talking about android.
Good luck.

Provide more information of your problem/situation,
what happened ?
Have you flashed any firmware ?
Took any OTA ?
What was firmware version you were using ?
Tried latest December's firmware ? This> https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
I think you're flashing older bootloader & GPT then it is already installed on your device;
take a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
from that thread download the latest ROM and firstly flash GPT and boot-loader by following command:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
but however after flashing the latest firmware the current blankflash that we have won't work, because GPT and boot-loader version is higher.
now after you flashed the GPT and bootloader then flash the whole firmware by following commands:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Now once you flashed it then you're good to go:good:

What device do you have? I'm guessing it's a Moto X4 from the TWRP name?
Are you on Nougat or Oreo? From looking at this thread, you've got 2 different build: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/development/dev-testing-t3707432
If you are running a X4, you may have better luck over there rather than here on the Moto G4 forums, as there's more users familiar with the A/B partitioning on the Moto X4.
Ohh my bad, I had like 6 xda tabs open, I actually meant to post it there. My bad man, thank you!
got the same problem any luck yet?
Any luck yet? I got a suggestion that the problem could only get fixed flashing the memory of the phone directly with this kind of device... (search for the octopus box, I cant post links yet im new here) but im lost and they say that thing is expensive... I really want my phone to be saved on my computer. My case is exactly the same as you.... oem locked and failed partition everything and remote failure.
SOLVED!! Failed to initialize partition table
..
First of all convert phone to hard brick to Softbrick...
After that if you want to bootup phone than..IT shows bootloader log::
Failed to initialize partition Table
SOLUTION:-
1) Download Minimal ADB Drivers , gpt.bin, Motorola Device driver
For link mail me on [email protected]
2.) Now Install adb and motorola drivers .
3.) Copy gpt.bin file in ADB folder in installed drive.
4.) Open Minimal ADB and Fastboot.exe
Now Run the following command
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot
The cell phone should restart after this if you do not type the last code and enter if still yes it is not just hang up and call to enter the fastboot.
Now YOUR PROBLEM SOLVED

Even I got the same error. Its because adb couldn't find the gpt.bin file in the adb folder from where you had executed the command window.
Copy the gpt.biin file in that folder and try again, that should work.

Simple Moto G4 Question

Motorola G4 XT1625
Minor Problem: Phone will not start normally, only boots into Fastboot mode.
Minor Problem: Phone is oem Locked
Major Problem: I never went into "settings" on the phone and ENABLED OEM UNLOCKING.
Question: Is it possible to recover this phone or am I spinning my wheels here?
A little background. Not a developer, just trying to get my phone running again. I have installed Moto tools on my PC, requested and received an unlock code, connected to the phone and can send commands via command line. I understand what the issue is, and hindsight says I should have enabled the phone for development on day 1 based on the risk of an OTA update failure. I've read nearly every forum post regarding this topic, just haven't got clear answer as to if this phone is recoverable.
Oh, and if this looks slightly familiar, its a repost of a thread I started in the general Android help and Q&A forum. I received an email from Brandon, chief admin, letting me know I may receive more info from the MOTO G4 forum.
Thanks in advance.....
Hello there, if the phone boots only into fastboot mode it may be that Stock OS has been wiped, therefore having no OS would reboot the phone every time. When you unlock the bootloader the user data gets erased and the phone goes into factory reset, however, you didn't have OEM unlocked. I don't see if it should be an issue right now.
What I would do is trying to find the stock ROM of your G4, and re flashing it. What I also would do is just try to flash recovery thru fastboot and see if it works.
Quick question, do you see the unlocked boot loader message when you boot your phone ? (this phone cannot be trusted blah blah)
Let me know if it works either way. I don't think OEM lock should be an issue if the system partition has been erased. You got an unlock code and used it.
Good luck!
If you can remember what firmware you had before attempting to unlock your bootloader, you can find a lot of the athene firmwares here: https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=72578
For US Nougat devices, I recall the latest build is NPJ25.93-14.7 (though there are reports that there is a newer build being deployed).
That's an odd issue to experience though - can you remember what happened to your device? Was there a factory reset or an erase command issued? A locked bootloader normally should not permit you to erase the system.
With OEM unlocking disabled, you likely would have been blocked from being able to unlock your bootloader. However, by requesting the unlock key, Motorola has a record of the request against your IMEI, so may refuse to service your device under the now voided warranty. Perhaps the best bet at this moment in time is to try a stock ROM reflash.
If you can't remember what stock firmware you had, or want a confirmation, then I'd like to see your getvar info please:
1)Boot to bootloader, connect your device to your computer.
2)In the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes, press Enter on your keyboard.
3)Paste the output into a post here, you may wish to remove your IMEI. This output should be a list of your device variables and give us an idea of the state of your device.
Thank you both for help here.
Quick question, do you see the unlocked boot loader message when you boot your phone ? (this phone cannot be trusted blah blah)
No, the phone will not boot in any mode, factory,recovery,etc, and comes back with
Start Up Failed:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (secure)
Fastboot reason : UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot
ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Boot up failed
As to the pre-failure status, the phone was fine after the last upgrade, I believe in late December or early January. I also noticed that the internal storage was running thin so I uninstalled some unused apps as well as using the storage/apps/ clear cache method to get the unused space back to about 3GB unused. No problems after that either. The problem started with the phone doing one of two things, it either shut down such that I had to hold the power button down for 30 sec to start/reboot the phone, or would it simply do a full reboot on its own. The period between these events varied, sometimes a matter of minutes, other times a day or two. It did this for about a week until it booted into the mode I described earlier.
The following is the requested data from the phone,
Thanks again for your help

Thanks for the getvar info. That suggests you have the NPJ25.93-14.7-3 US retail firmware (December 2017 security patch). Unfortunately, we don't have that firmware leaked to us yet - hopefully someone can capture the correct firmware from Motorola.
As you've correctly surmised, the firmwares we've got are too old for your device, and particularly as your bootloader is locked, the locked bootloader is rejecting any firmware that is older than the current version (as locked bootloaders do not permit firmware downgrades).
You could refer your device to a service centre and see if they can flash the latest firmware onto your device (and hopefully not charge you), or wait for a retail NPJ25.93-14.7-3 stock firmware to 'unofficially' appear.
Thanks Echo92, the help has been greatly appreciated.
It was an Ah Ha moment with your last message when I realized I could see the version of firmware from the getvar info, like I said I'm coming up the learning curve, just been a slow climb.......
I have contacted Motorola service about the phone, the response I received was that the G4 is not repairable, I could purchase a replacement for $90, which when you think about it is not a bad deal, but they only offered it with a 90 day warranty. I did not specifically ask about them simply re-flashing it, so I'm not sure if that was an option or not.
In case your curious, I've since replaced the phone, different brand, but will keep this one as a backup if I can eventually get the firmware re-loaded (hoping that it is not hardware related problem)
Thanks again

I have the same error when flashing using the "flash rom nougat.bat" file inside the video's description, also i couldn't flash the blankflash because qualcomm driver not detects the phone.

Flashed Stock ROM, but Bootloader NOT Re-Locking

*** [LATEST UPDATE, Unresolved] *** Issue Persists after reverting to original ROM and back to latest firmware (all signed, official copies)
I'm [STILL] stuck!
I was part of MFN beta test of android 10, but it would no longer allow me to install OTA updates of latest security patches, so i decided to try re-locking the bootloader, reverting back to stock 9 pie, and going back to OTA updates to get latest 10 Q official stock version...
Now I can't get valid boot image to re-lock bootloader with adb/fastboot!
(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key
(bootloader) Still require signed boot.img
I already tried LMSA rescue/software assistant. It reads device but when trying to rescue, doesn't like to play nice with my modified phone!
* [UPDATE 1]:
* flashed another firmware, now baseband doesn't work, no data/LTE signal good, not reading sim card at all?!
** [UPDATE 2]:
** After reverting back to PPOS29.114-134-14 (9 Pie) >>> now baseband works, LTE signal good, sim card reading again
** BUT STILL unsigned boot image (still void warranty, still can't lock bootloader to use Google Pay)
** Thanks, Huey for link to 10Q version, I'll try it out and post update...
*** [UPDATE 3]:
*** I flashed HueyT's 10 Q Rom (RIVER_QPU30.52-16-2)
*** Phone functioning again with 10 Q (network, baseband,etc all good)
*** BUT STILL unsigned boot image (STILL void warranty, STILL can't lock bootloader to use Google Pay)
*** "(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key"
*** "(bootloader) Still require signed boot.img"

Did you use a stock boot.img?
After the message "Still require signed boot.img" flash your boot.img again and run "fastboot oem lock". Then another message should appear like "Still require signed system.img".

BTW: You must try to relock the bootloader while having Pie version installed and not beta version.

Still not working: "(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key"

Pie version flashed completely?
Output fastboot getvar ro.build.fingerprint?
I guess relocking fails because it's like a downgrade for the bootloader while having stock Pie installed.
yes, that is why i am asking for a 10/Q stock firmware so it doesn't have to try reverting backwards to 9/pie

I understand your problem. But there must be any solutions from Motorola for this issue. Otherwise you will have to wait for the Android 10 update.

See above
thanks HueyT! Do u know if this is for XT1692-1 variant? What's your venmo? If this works, I'm buying u a beer!
From what I understand, the stock fw for US,IN,EU ect. should be available before too much longer. Tired of waiting too but I'm not ready to risk using anything short of a perfect (signed) match to root with. I miss all my fav. root appz!
